George hanging theron and about these Roses are written those words which are in the Garter There are of this Order 26 Knights of which the Kings of England are Soveraignes and it is so much desired for the excellency that 8 Emperours 22 forraigne Kings 20 forraigne Dukes and divers Noble-men of other Countries have beene fellows of it About their necke they weare a blew Ribbond at the end of which hangeth the Image of Saint George upon whose day the installation of the new Knights are commonly celebrated being the three and twentieth of Aprill And al though it was first ordained at Bourdeaux yet the said King Edward the third would that the siedge and place of the solemnizing thereof should be at the Church of Windsor here in England where at the same time hee founded Canons or a Canonry for the better prosperity of the knights of the order The second order in antiquity is the order of the Annuntiation instituted Anno Dom. 1356 by Amede the sixt of that name Duke of Savoy and surnamed the greene knight The Knights of this order weare a great collar of gold made winding with three laces which are called of love wherein are enterlaced these words FERT FERT FERT every letter importing his Latin word thus F. fortitudo E eius R Rhodum T. tenuit that is his force hath conquered Rhodes and at this Collar hangeth an image of our Lady and of an Angell saluting her and for that occasion is called the Order of the Annuntiation The collar is of 15 links to shew the 15 misteries of the Virgine each linke being inter-woven one with the other in forme of a true Lovers knot The number is fourteene Knights the Solemnity is held annually on our Lady-day in the Castle of Saint Peter in Tutin This Earle ordayned this Order in memory of Amide the great Duke of Savoy which succoured the Knights of Saint Iohn when they conquered the I le of Rhodes upon the Turkes in the yeare of our Lord 1310. The third in antiquity is the Order of the golden Fleece founded upon the fable of the golden Fleece that Iason with the other Argonautes went to seeke in the I le of Colchos which is to say that hee went to the Mine of Gold or in Analogie to Gedeous Fleece as some will and ordayned by Philip the second surnamed the good Duke of Burgundy in the yeare 1430 the complete number of which Order were at first 25 Knights and raised afterwards by the said Philip to 31.

1000 to take away the dissention which before times had beene for the choosing of Emperours and ordayned moreover that being chosen by these seven Electors hee should be called Caesar but being afterwards crowned by the Bishop of Rome he should be called Augustus The three Crownes of the Emperour THe first Crowne is of Silver for the Realme of Germany and is kept at Aix the Chappell The second Crowne is of Iron for the Realme of Lombardy and is kept at Modene a little Towne not farre from Milan And the third of Gold for the Empire of Rome where it is kept The twelve Peers or Pairs of France IN the Realme of France to be a Peer is the greatest dignity under the King for that in many things they have almost equall authority with Kings for Peere in the French tongue signifieth equall But because it might bee too prolixe a matter to speake of their prerogatives it shall suffice to number them and each of their offices at the sacring or coronation of a new King These ancient Peers are twelve in number whereof sixe are of the Clergy and sixe are Lay men the sixe of the Clergy with their offices at the coronation are the Archbishop and Duke of Reins which hath his accustomed charge to oynt and consecrate the King the Bishop and Duke of Lacon whose office is to bring the holy Ampoule or divine water wherwith the king is annointed the Bishop and Duke of Langres whose office is to bring the scepter and the hand of justice the Bishop and Earle of Beauvais bringeth the Kings cloake the Bishop and Earle of Chaalons bringeth the Kings Ring the Bishop and Earle of Noyon bringeth the Kings girdle The sixe temporall Peers with their offices at the coronation are the Duke of Burgundie Deane or chiefe of the rest whose office is to bring the kings crown the Duke of Guyen bringeth the first square banner the Duke of Normandy bringeth the second square banner the Earle of Tholouse bringeth the Kings spurrs the Earle of Champaine bringeth the Kingly banner or the standart of warre and the Earle of Flaunders bringeth the Kings sword And although the five first temporall Peerdomes be united to the crowne and the sixt bee subject to another Prince yet at the Kings coronation there are other noble men appointed to supply their roome and offices These bee the twelve ancient Peers although since their creation others have beene made which though they have like authority to judge in the Court of Parliament yet they want offices at the King coronation and beare not that majesty that the other Peers doe for that they are not of so great antiquity The eight Parliaments of France THE chiefe and generallest justice of the Realme of France is continually kept in eight Citties wherein are Palaces made expressely for that purpose and this generall kinde of justice is divided into eight parts according to the eight Citties and every of them are called Parliaments which differ very little from our Tearmes but whereas these are but foure times in a yeare those are continually kept each of them having in stead of our Lord Chancelor a chiefe President The first and chiefest of these Parliaments is that of Paris called the Court of the Peers of France and to the equity and judgement of this Parliament many forraigne Kings and Princes have submitted themselves in matters of greatest importance as to the most venerable and chiefest Senate of

judgement of this Court as concerning the limitation of their lands and possessions the Daulphin of Vienna and the Earle of Sauoy submitted themselves to the judgement of this Parliament concerning the suit betwixt them for the homage of the Marquisat of Saluces Moreover without the consent of this Parliament it hath not beene seene that the Kings of France have done or passed any matter of
